Default Dakar - Cardamom - Nutmeg?

Finally getting rid of my '98 brilliant yellow A4 that I custom ordered.

Thinking of getting the Dakar Beige, Cardamom Beige, Nutmeg Laurel combo. Does anyone have any good photos of this combo? Any thoughts from thoes that have seen or own this combo?

Don't really like "standard" colors and I am hoping that this will fit the non-standard color requirment for me.

I have that same interior scheme and it is gorgeous! IMO,I do not believe there is a better color combination. The different tones of tan and brown flow so well. I had a loaner for a few days with black interior and silver inlays...it was the most boring combo ever and it looked cheap to me. Just my opinion so don't jump on me people. I did want a black interior until i saw how well this one worked. Also with the exterior color of the car the tans and browns flow seemlessly - im sure it will be similar for the Dakar.

Any idea why Teak Brown is not shown as an option on AudiUSA website?

I have no idea. I think it shows it for the A5 but not A4. The images of the colors in their configurator are terrible -really need to see them in person and they usually don't have more than 3 or 4 colors. I love the Teak Brown bc its unique and changes color a lot depending on lighting conditions.

That is just too much of a "love it or hate it" color. I have seen a few A4's in Silicon Valley in that color but it won't be gracing my driveway.

Does it take that much time to update the website? Seems a bit lazy to have a "secret" color on the market, but based on how long it took Audi to update prices on the website for 2011, I'm not surprised.

I see all the colors I would support selling, so I'm fine with the website as-is
